anyone mentioned stock ?
7nm CPUs, Consoles, Mobile phones, tablets... stock might be a killer

Hence why I am concerned with yields. It might explain why Navi was delayed by 6 to 9 months.
Has anybody other than AdoredTV said this?Navi was delayed because it needed a respin
Use a terrible blower reference cooler that makes the card throttle like crazy and produce more noise than a jet engine (see analysis of rumoured leaked PCB of Navi card). Forbid partners from making cards with good coolers for several months after release tarnishing its performance in the eyes of reviewers and the consumer ( they did this before with the 290X, let's hope they don't ever do it again).

It's hard to top the space invaders 2080ti debacle with RTX and DLSS hype-fail thrown in for good measure, all for a measly £1200 plus...
Probably delayed to get some form of rayvtracing support in. Not delayed long enough for hardware support, you can’t just do a massive architecture change in 6 months which is what you need forbhardware rayvtracing - so whatever reason it got delayed is not very major
It is possible they have a few instructions added that help a little but I doubt this is the case.
Navi was delayed because 7nm is hugely expensive per wafer and AMD needs very high yields to make it cost effective. Nvidia publicly stated that the reason they kept to 12nm with Turing is the 7nm process wasn't mature enough given the very high costs and the modest gains.
The 7nm+ process actually looks to be a bigger jump in performance and density, so that is what Nvidia is betting on.
Just because nvidia is publicly saying something does not mean that its a) true, or b) the real reason.
That does make it at least £100 cheaper than the RTX 2080.I reckon 1080Ti performance for £500 on release
